Rekindled

Is death the end? Millions have felt the departed reach out, but skepticism remains. Grief psychologist, homicide survivor, and podcast host Dr. Jan Canty offers a deeply investigated, compassionate, and affirming exploration of spontaneous after-death communications (ADCs) by blending decades of clinical experience, personal insights, and riveting stories that counter the stigma of this almost-universal phenomenon. As a clinical psychologist, Jan Canty did not believe in ADCs, even after she experienced one when her husband was brutally murdered. But she could not ignore countless stories from her patients and podcast interviewees as they poured in. A presence, vivid dreams, timely signs—these moments comfort, heal, and assure us that death does not terminate; it transforms. For those mourning, providing grief support, or wondering what awaits them on the other side, Rekindled builds a vital bridge between personal experience and science by: Illuminating the historical, scientific, and cultural shifts that shape our understanding of ADCs Exploring how ADCs promote healing and restore connection Integrating insights from neuroscience and physics Highlighting a gap in grief intervention tactics and offering practical tools to caregivers and mental health providers Sharing firsthand accounts so no one feels alone in what they've seen, heard, or felt Rekindled sheds light on the one experience that connects us all. This is a must-read for fans of Dr. Eben Alexander's Proof of Heaven**, and an accessible and needed resource for the grieving, as well as counselors and psychologists, hospice workers, death doulas, and clergy.** "A courageous and necessary book . . . not to persuade but to understand." —Dr. J.
